Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions, or the removal of one or more teeth, are usually used as a last resort in dentistry, as keeping the natural tooth in the mouth is ideal. The most significant short-term benefit associated with tooth extraction is the elimination of pain. If a tooth is severely decayed, cracked or an infection is present, removing the affected tooth almost immediately alleviates discomfort. However, it should be noted that further procedures are necessary to replace the extracted tooth.
